That's what I meant by absolutely not. Cannoli Send a noteboard - 05/09/2009 04:31:26 AM
I thought the same thing the first time I read it, but when I reread I think it was more the shock of actually reading something new in the series for the first time in years.


It's a whole bunch of little things. The dialogue, the way the PoV character thinks, the way the character explains things directly that would have been referenced more obliquely and more smoothly in previous books ... it's just not the same. And I like it less and less the more I re-read it...


Yeah, I didn't find it as smooth. And Rand talked a little differently. It feels faster paced too. We'll see I guess

Just to be a little wacky, have we considered that this could be one of the portions of the novel RJ wrote? I don't think it is, but maybe we are just freaked out by new WoT material.

This is not RJ's writing. (No Spoilers) - 05/09/2009 03:46:26 AM 1637 Views
It isn't supposed to be. - 05/09/2009 04:08:46 AM 720 Views
Jason claimed it was hard to tell them apart. *NM* - 05/09/2009 04:10:13 AM 322 Views
I take anything from that source with a pinch of salt *NM* - 05/09/2009 03:41:49 PM 279 Views
I noticed that too. - 05/09/2009 04:11:22 AM 575 Views

Could it be rough draft that Sanderson kept, and Jordan never polished? *NM* - 05/09/2009 05:14:59 AM 373 Views
I doubt it - 05/09/2009 05:17:09 AM 854 Views
Definitely Sanderson - 05/09/2009 05:27:57 AM 855 Views
Really? - 05/09/2009 08:55:37 AM 866 Views
I agree with DomA *NM* - 05/09/2009 08:26:17 PM 368 Views

I could tell it wasn't Jordan, but I liked what I read. - 05/09/2009 04:27:44 AM 564 Views
I liked it too...new WoT material finally! *NM* - 05/09/2009 05:16:34 AM 272 Views
It bugged me at first. - 05/09/2009 04:32:27 AM 640 Views
agreed. I liked it, but - 05/09/2009 05:13:18 AM 673 Views
Anyone want to guess which part can be a foreshadowing? - 05/09/2009 05:34:07 AM 644 Views
No surprise. Brandon was one of us when RJ stll lived *NM* - 08/09/2009 04:27:14 PM 274 Views

I've been saying that for years. - 05/09/2009 08:55:19 AM 724 Views
Whatever. I thought it was an improvement. - 05/09/2009 08:45:37 PM 646 Views
Agree fully. Art and paiting have rarely even been mentioned! It feels like a fan's writing... - 05/09/2009 09:59:15 AM 741 Views
Are you pre-ordering the book? - 05/09/2009 10:48:44 AM 634 Views
I live in the U.S. now... - 05/09/2009 02:59:40 PM 629 Views
I hope so, because I won't able to wait for it. *NM* - 05/09/2009 04:45:01 PM 291 Views
I preordered it from Bookdepository.com for 15$ - 05/09/2009 04:47:07 PM 536 Views
I checked, they don't ship to India. *NM* - 05/09/2009 04:50:34 PM 301 Views
Yes, I agree. It feels cold because it is an alien presence. - 09/09/2009 02:31:45 PM 561 Views
It sounds better via the audio - 05/09/2009 03:07:37 PM 683 Views

No. It was never meant to be, it never could be and Sanderson never pretended otherwise. - 05/09/2009 07:40:37 PM 762 Views
Exactly. - 05/09/2009 08:50:08 PM 589 Views
According to him... - 05/09/2009 09:14:44 PM 601 Views

It wasn't Jordan... - 07/09/2009 04:36:11 AM 568 Views
It isn't but I thought BS said he wasn't trying to be exactly like RJ - 08/09/2009 08:12:24 PM 631 Views
The difference was a bit staggering - 08/09/2009 08:23:15 PM 591 Views
